Mr. Michael Rainey:

I do not believe that data is collected at the moment. Going back to Mr. Peter Kearns's comment about the lived experience and need for local authorities to be aware of that lived experience, there probably is a reliance by us on individuals to come forward to make submissions. There is a reliance on that college within the PPN to have a voice when we come forward with plans or strategies, particularly public realm developments. I am conscious listening to the message today that it is not sufficient for us just to provide the opportunity to engage; it is about supporting disabled people in that. That is a broader question nationally. From a local authority sector perspective, we want more engagement from disabled persons. We want to make sure, as Deputy Ellis said, that when we are doing a playground or a public realm project, we know what that need is from the outset. The more informed engagement we get, as Mr. Peter Kearns said, from people who have the lived experience of being a disabled person, the more that will allow us to bring forward a better product. In that regard, it would be very welcome.
